Somalia Blasts Attack on Turkish Aerospace Industries
MOGADISHU, Somalia – In a fervent denouncement, Somalia shunned the dastardly act of terror that scarred Turkey on Wednesday. As global efforts gear toward disarming conflict and bolstering peace, this violent episode stood as a stark and unnecessary anomaly. Turkey, a stalwart in international peacekeeping, particularly drew Somalia’s dismay.
Somalia’s helm, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, expressed profound disquiet over the calamity. With empathy, he hoped for the swift healing of those gravely wounded during the assault aimed at Aerospace Industries in Ankara.
In an emotional phone exchange, President Mohamud conveyed to Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan his deepest sympathies and condolences concerning the catastrophe at Turkish Aerospace Industries. As Villa Somalia noted, “Somalia’s heart aches with Türkiye, steadfast in our shared battle against terror.”
Ankara’s accounts reveal a stark tableau: a ruthless attack on the Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) periphery left five souls gone and 22 injured. The Interior Ministry pledged unwavering support to the bereaved nations.
Speaking on these grim events, Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya confirmed the “neutralization” of “two fiends” during what he termed a “heinous terror raid.”
Middle East Eye, channeling info from knowledgeable Turkish channels, disclosed that a duo—a man and a woman—commandeered a taxi, stealthily approaching TAI’s gates. This behemoth of a workplace, with over 15,000 employees, became their target. In their wake, they claimed the life of their cab driver, unleashed a bomb at the threshold, and brawled with a valiant guard. One infiltrator breached the grounds as cries scattered and workers sought refuge.
Reports narrated the insurgent’s attempts to infiltrate both the HR department and the academic wing. An elaborate operation by special forces saw an explosive exchange, ending with the liberation of 11 hostages.
The day’s harrowing sequence culminated once Yerlikaya informed the media of suspected involvement by the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), deemed a terror faction by Turkey, the US, the UK, and the EU. Illustrating their confidence in this theory, Yerlikaya stated, “The attack’s methodology and images unmistakably mirror PKK’s handiwork.”
